X Kl. Aug. Depositio sancti Apollinaris episcopi in Ravenna, qui Romae ordinatus ab apostolo Petro et illuc missus est: qui etiam in Aemilia praedicavit et in partibus Corinthiorum et in Mysia et in ripa Danubii et in partibus Thraciae, in quibus locis exilio relegatus est. Et ubicumque pervenit innumeras virtutes fecit et passiones sustinuit: nam nimia cum caede mactatus est, et rursum diutius fustibus caesus ac nudis pedibus super prunas impositus, rursum caesus et equuleo appensus, rotus est et saxo os eius contusum est, et cum gravissimo ferri pondere inclusus in carcere horrifico atque in ligno extensus est; ubi ab hominibus quidem neglectus, sed ab Angelo publice pastus est. Deinde catenatus et in exilium directus est, in quo rursum diutus fustibus caesus et rursum, in Ravenna, ligatus, a paganis caesus et vulneratus et rursum in carcerem missus et caesus, sic martyrium consummavit, sub Vespasiano Caesare,Demosthene patricio. Rexit ecclesiam annis viginti octo et dies quatuor.
'23 July. The laying to rest of Saint Apollinaris, bishop, in Ravenna, who was ordained at Rome by the apostle Peter and sent to that place: who also preached in Aemilia and in the area of the Corinthians and in Moesia and along the banks of the Danube and in areas of Thracia, into which places he was banished in exile. And wherever he came, he worked countless miracles and withstood sufferings: for he was offered up in sacrifice with great carnage, both beaten repeatedly for a long time with clubs and placed upon burning coals with bare feet, beaten anew and hung up on the rack, he was twisted and his face was crushed with a rock, and with the heaviest possible weight of iron he was shut up in a horrific prison and stretched out on a wooden plank; there he was indeed disregarded by men, but publicly nourished by an angel. Next, chained and sent into exile, in which he was once more beaten for a long time with clubs and, back again in Ravenna, bound fast, beaten by pagans and wounded and once more set into prison and beaten, in this way he accomplished martyrdom, under Vespasian Caesar, when Demosthenes was patrician. He ruled his church for twenty-eight years and four days.'
